...introduction will treat of the four great authors, Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, and Goethe and their relations to the "World Literature." Then the legend of Faust will be discussed, beginning with its fore-runners, the old Christian and the medieval legends, and Calderon's "Wonder-working Magician."

Both men preferred to receive serves on the fall of the ball, while Niles and Dana generally took them on the top of the bound. Niles's fore-hand Lawford was not so effective as in previous contests.

At this point Morgan's crew again came to the fore, and the two boats were on even terms for a while. Shortly before the finish Bacon's crew spurted and gained nearly a length, but were unable to hold their distance, and Morgan's men drew up on them, and made the race a tie. There will probably be another...
